Hi,
In the real world, I pick up my car and put it on the just visiting jail 
square. How do you represent that on the computer?

  I could use void*, but I would have to cast the pointers--there should be a 
cleaner way. :(

  Thanks,

    Hi Tyler,
    In Monopoly, I can have a racecar or a shoe on a square. Shouldn't you be 
able to just make a square and then point to the object that is supposed to be 
on it or can you somehow just put an object on it? I thought OOP was supposed 
to be able to represent the real world.

    Thanks.

    Jim

      Hello jim,
      It might, but if I have an array of objects, the objects would need to be 
of mixed-type so I'm able to maybe manage more than one object.
      E.g, a vehicle will be a different object from a player, etc.
      Thanks,
      Tyler Littlefield.

        Hi Tyler,
        Unless I am missing something, you could maybe make the squares on the 
board objects so that they could be different from one-another. Would that work?

        Thanks.

        Jim

          Hello list,
          I've got a question.
          I'm thinking of writing a game in c++.
          I want to find a way to make the board and map.
          I thought about using an array, but then that would require that all 
objects are the same...
          Any ideas?
          Also, how are race tracks built?
          I want to do a bit of racing in the game, just not sure how to lay 
those out.

          Thanks,
          Tyler Littlefield.
